It's usually best to try and connect to one geographically
close, even though that may not be the best. You can always ask when you
get on IRC . Here's a list of servers available for connection:

Table: Open IRC servers

This is, by no means, a comprehensive list, but merely a start.
Connect to the closest of these servers and join the channel
#Twilight_Zone
or, if you are in Europe,
#EU-Opers.
When you get there, immediately ask what you want. Don't say ``I have a
question'' because then everyone will ignore you until you say it a
few times, and then they'll jump down your throat and rip your lungs
out. No-one knows if he can answer your question until you ask it.
